WATER MADE UNWHOLESOME Thorough Examination Should Be Made of Curb for Defects Deter mine If Carbonic Acid Gas Has Accumulated at Bottom. (Prepared by. the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) It, properly located, built and pro tected, dug wells are more likely to be permanently satisfactory than any other kind, but to insure the safety of the water supply they require clean ing occasionally. Even in protected wells dust and other foreign matter, which may pollute the water, are like ly to gain entrance at the top, and the washing in of clay and silt with the ground water may make the sup ply unwholesome. First Step in Cleaning. The first step in cleaning a well should be inspection of the curb, which, If weak or defective, may make entrance dangerous. This ex amination may be made more thor oughly, and even the bottom of the well may be observed by the aid of a beam of sunlight reflected into the well by a looking-glass. Next lower a lighted candle to determine if car bonic acid gas has accumulated in the bottom of the well. Complete or par tial failure of the candle to burn In dicates that it is dangerous to enter the well. If found safe to enter a ladder should be lowered and the curb from top down scrubbed with wire or other stiff brushes and rinsed thoroughly. The well then should be pumped as low as possible, and any mud, moss or other debris should be scraped up Into pails and removed. , Pump Out After Cleaning. ' After thorough cleaning the- "Well should be allowed to fill and then ,Bo pumped out rapidly. This operation, may be repeated to advantage two or three times, and often the whole work results In a freer, larger-yielding well. Many wells can be drained by hand pumping, but In other cases a power pump is necessary. Unless there are special reasons for so doing there is little use in attempt- Facts are more convincing flian argument.

Physically clay is a mass of very fine, minute grains, stuck together as a cemented substance, and Is compar ably like putty In texture. Water Is impermeable io it. As a soil clay Is very nnsultnble, for the land gets in ft waterlogged condition and very coldvbot as.n con stituent it Is very valuable, as It re tains the moisture and holds plants Una.
